Schools, parents welcome policy on Marathi subject

The policy prompted reactions from educational institutions and parents.

Sunayana Awasthi, principal of Kanakia International School, sees the move as a positive step. "We already teach Marathi till Grade 8 as a regional language. It's important because it's the main mode of communication here. Even students from outside Maharashtra need to learn it to interact with society, vendors and others if they come to Maharashtra," she said.
